I'm still alive... kind of

Heya, folks!

Long time no see. I'm going to spare you from the made-up excuses for not blogging in such a long time. The last few months have been pretty rough to say the least, real life has caught up with me. But alas, I'm not here to complain. The reason for this post is that I want to show you some photos which were taken when my bro Dai visited me in December!

In case somebody wants to know what I'm wearing, here are the outfit details:

Choker: self-made

Waistcoat: Sixh.

Vest: Civarize

Harem pants (not pictured): Civarize

Jewelry: off-brand

Make-up & hair: myself

The photos were all taken by Dai. You can check his artist page here.

See you again soon!

London calling

Hey folks!

It's been a while, hasn't it? A lot has changed since my last post- I'm in Germany again, ready to start uni next Wednesday. Until then, I've got some time to indulge in major laziness a.k.a. drinking tea and reading. I've started reading "A Game of Thrones" recently and if anyone of you has other suggestions what to read, please share your thoughts with me!

However, this post is not about reading, unfortunately. It's about style or to be precise, some of my most recent outfits. Here we go!

 This was taken near my favourite place in York, namely St Mary's Abbey. I had wanted to wear those red leggins for quite a while already, but had never gotten around to doing it. Anyway, here's the rundown of what I'm wearing:

Hat: New Yorker

Blazer: New Look

Bow tie: ASOS

Shirt: Zara

Leggins: Warehouse

Boots: Blink

 The next outfit is already from London- it was our first evening there so I went for something casual yet fashionable. A few hours later, we stumbled into a small art gallery in Hyde Park, so my outfit choice proved to be quite fitting for the occasion. 

College jacket: Zara

Dress: New Look

Tights: H&M

Boots: Tamaris 

 This was one of my more elaborate outfits which I wore to the "Savage Beauty" exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Don't let my beige coat fool you- there's pure doom underneath it! I also tried a different make-up style for this which you can see better in the close-up photo below. The outfit rundown is here:

Rose headband: H&M
Coat: Max Mara Weekend

Shirt (not pictured): Civarize

Trousers: New Look

Boots: Tamaris

And here's a closer look at my make-up and hair from that day. We went to Camden after the exhibition and spent the day happily strolling around the markets, shopping and enjoying the sun.

See you soon!

One of those days

Hey folks!

After finally having submitted all my assessed work to the department I can finally breathe again. Which means I'm all up for the fun stuff in life! 

First of all I'm going to show you my look from the Placebo live in Leeds I went to this Monday with one of my flatmates. It was good fun, I'd definitely see them again someday if I get the chance!

 There we go! I went for a really striking eye make-up, but apart from that I kept everything relatively simple and natural. My flatmate told me I had 'vampire eyes', so I guess the look was successful. I just love the craziness that is those super-full fake eyelashes from Eyelure. I need to get another pair sometime soon! If there's anything I adore (besides my babe and fencing, mind you), then it's looking absolutely otherworldly... 

 The photo of this delicious treat is from today's outing with three of my flatmates. We wanted to have a proper girls' day out before each one of us is going home at the end of the week, so we headed to a famous café in town and stuffed our faces with cakes and other sweets.

 Also, the tea was absolutely divine! I guess you can never go wrong with rose petal tea anyway, though. I might go back someday soon and buy some tea leaves so I can re-create this goodness back at home in Germany. 

We spent the day chatting away, shopping and braving the cold weather in fancy attire.  I dare say we were the most beautiful girls out in town, everyone put so much effort into their looks ( I looked like a potato as always, but I woke up too late this morning so I didn't have time to get ready properly).

And the not-so-glamorous yet tasty end of the day: Pizza! We actually wanted to have dinner with everyone of our other flatmates, but unfortunately some of them were out, so it was only us four plus R., one of our guy flatmates. We chattered about random things, as such as history, university stuff, politics and genealogy. Turns out there's quite a few former aristocrats in our flat, including me. Yay! 

Well I guess that's it- see you again soon.
